NFC North links: Roles for Leshoure, Bell

The Bears and cornerback Kelvin Hayden have agreed to terms on a one-year deal.

David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune says the Bears could do a lot worse than using their first-round draft pick on linebacker Manti Te'o. Haugh: "Even after signing veteran free-agent linebackers D.J. Williams and James Anderson to replace Brian Urlacher and Nick Roach, the Bears lack the youth and stability Te'o offers the position. Whether [GM Phil] Emery uses the No. 20 selection or trades down in the first round, he could justify taking Te'o if Georgia's Alec Ogletree goes as the first inside linebacker, as many expect."

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says it's too soon to panic regarding the e-pulltabs that are expected to cover the state's share of a new Vikings stadium. “We’ll work this out,” Dayton said. “It’s not about pointing fingers about what happened last spring. … Unless somebody can prove conclusively otherwise, I would say everybody -- the Gambling Control Board, the Department of Revenue, the Legislature, Republicans and Democrats, and my administration -- everybody acted in good faith, and has applied their best judgment to a totally unprecedented situation.”
